If neither of you have aids, then don't worry about it.

You can never be really sure if your sexual partner is or is not seeing and having intercourse with someone else. There are very few married on non-married couples that are truly faithful to one another these days. It is sad but true. It is good that you both have a blood test and each other the result before unprotected sex. After that you have to truly be sure your partner is monogamist....only having sex with you. If any small doubt. Always use a condom. STDs are not worth it. Especially AIDS. Do you really want the risk your health and life. Take precautions. I'm a nurse and I've heard it and seen it all. It is sad to find out your loved one has been cheating on you only when you suddenly become sick and your diagnosed with STD and you have only been with one person. Guess what? That person got the STD not from a toilet seat. Always be safe.

You can't spontaneously get AIDS any more than you can spontaneously get pregnant . . . however, sex is not the only way to get it (but it is the most common).
Assuming that both you and your partner are faithful, you could also get it from a used IV/hypodermic needle, or anything that has you in contact with another person's blood/semen/vaginal fluids, and possibly urine or feces. There've been no known cases from saliva, although saliva is what they test to determine if you have it, so it's in there. Small chance you can get it from a blood transfusion. And, of course, there've been cases where it's taken 10 years from the initial exposure to show up, so you might "get it" now, although you actually contracted it years ago.
Best of luck to you. That's a hard question to ask, and a hard thing to have to think about.

You can get aids other ways besides sex, such as blood transfusions, sharing needles with drug addicts or accidentally coming in contact with someone's blood who's infected with aids.
But as far as getting it sexaully, if you know both of you are clean then you would be fine. But if you've had other partners who may have been questionable, you would need to wait at least 6 months to have blood tests to confirm if there was any exposure or not because it can sometimes take 6 months or so before it shows up in your blood.

The only way you can be sure someone doesn't have AIDS is to be tested. Once you have both been cleared than as long as you never have sex with anyone but each other, don't have a blood transfusions, don't use intravenous drugs, you will probably remain AIDS free.

Not unless you're sleeping with other people who have aids, share a drug needle with someone who has aids, that's pretty much the only way.

You can't "know" someone doesn't have aids till you are tested. Best to just take the precautions

your still susceptible to AIDS 6 years after having sex with an infected person. so 4 years into your safe marriage you still have the risk of becoming positive.

As long as your partner is not infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, then you won't catch it from them.
